Why are we called ’Big Dog’?

1. The term ‘Big Dog’ is used to identify someone who works hard and takes ownership of their actions. They achieve goals no matter how big or small.

2. We love and adore dogs.…. particularly our dog Dex

We started Big Dog Strength and Fitness as the result of both opportunity and necessity. Covid forced our business to adapt as we moved from a commercial gym to our private facility. When we moved our business away from the busy, crowded space, we wanted to prioritize two things. The first was to continue to provide amazing session quality for our clients. Number two was equally as importantly to us: maintain our amazing community of people. We are nothing if not for the awesome people that make up our pack. We wanted a name that would represent us and our clients. Big Dog Strength and Fitness ticked every box.

Our boy Dexter is the heart and soul of our gym. He is a true gym dog that is happy to greet every person (and their dog) who comes to train. He is the model and inspiration for our logo and principals. He is the original Big Dog.
